For decades\, funders and civic leaders have invested in communities in pursuit of durable change.

With this renewed interest comes an opportunity to reflect on what we’ve learned and to ask sharper questions: How do we become better partners and co-learners with communities? How can philanthropy\, business\, government\, and nonprofits work together to drive long-term\, equitable impact? And how do we strengthen local ecosystems so decision-making is guided by leaders closest to the work? \nJoin NationSwell for a cross-sector conversation on innovation in place-based impact\, exploring what it takes to center community leadership and build sustained partnerships that translate renewed interest into lasting change. \nTo encourage open and candid discussion\, this event follows the Chatham House Rule – attendees may share insights from the conversation but cannot attribute statements to specific individuals or organizations.

Funders are under pressure to move money more efficiently\, learn faster\, and support grantees better\, all without adding risk\, burden\, or opacity to an already complex system. The question is no longer whether AI will touch grantmaking\, but where it can actually add value—and where it shouldn’t. \nNationSwell invites philanthropic and impact leaders to a conversation on the practical use of AI in grantmaking. We’ll focus on use cases—sourcing and diligence\, application review\, portfolio learning\, reporting\, and grantee support—while interrogating the tradeoffs around bias\, transparency\, data quality\, and trust. The goal is a grounded exchange of ideas about when AI can meaningfully improve decisions and workflows\, and how to adopt it in ways that strengthen\, rather than undermine\, equity\, accountability\, and relationships with grantees. \nTo encourage open and candid discussion\, this event follows the Chatham House Rule – attendees may share insights from the conversation but cannot attribute statements to specific individuals or organizations.

Wealth is often understood narrowly as accumulation or privilege rather than as a practical foundation for stability\, choice\, and long-term opportunity. When the narrative is muddled or loaded\, it becomes harder to build durable public support for policies and programs that expand economic power. \nNationSwell invites leaders from philanthropy\, business\, and the social sector to a conversation on how the impact field can develop a clearer\, more inclusive narrative and vocabulary around wealth. We’ll examine how words like ownership\, assets\, security\, and opportunity are landing today\, where they fall short\, and how reframing can better support economic mobility and inclusive growth initiatives. The discussion will focus on what practitioners can do differently—in strategy\, storytelling\, and partnerships—to align language with outcomes and help normalize wealth-building as a legitimate\, shared goal. \nTo encourage open and candid discussion\, this event follows the Chatham House Rule – attendees may share insights from the conversation but cannot attribute statements to specific individuals or organizations.
